I have loved working with fabrics ever since I could reach the pedal of my mother’s sewing machine. Now I re-purpose fabrics making bags, aprons, cushions and just recently a unique collect of fun silk buttons.

Inspiration for my unique Brusho and silk fabric work comes from the colours and forms found in the local scenery. I have a special love for trees and the light that plays through them, their knobbly trunks, twisted roots and the distant vistas to be glimpsed through them. I also create lino prints on textile which are enhanced using Brusho dye.
